Medal of Honor Recipient Sgt. Henry H. Taylor of 45th Illinois Infantry Bust Dedication April 29

From the April 10, 2023, The Reconstruction Era" blog.  "Sgt. Henry Taylor Vicksburg Medal of Honor winner will have bust dedicated  April 29, 2023."

I have been writing a lot recently about the Galena, Illinois' 45th Infantry Regiment from the Civil War and came across this post in this blog.  Something I am considering attending.

Taylor was born and raised in the Galena area (northwest Illinois) in Jo Daviess County.  The memorial will be coordinated  with the 2023 U.S. Grant Pilgrimage (a Boy Scout function), Blackhawk Area Council and Boy Scouts of America.  The community is invited to  attend the event and brief ceremony.

The Fickbohm-Hissem Post 193, American Legion Department of Illinois is the coordinating post for the event.
